Doglsedding

Off we go!

Preparation...

Pro.

The eyes! The BLUE BLUE eyes!

One of my many new friends :)

On Friday we went on a dogsledding tour! It was so much fun. We were picked up from our hostel around 10:00am, and then were taken to the kennels where all of the dogs are kept. There, we were able to get bundled up (again:) and help the guides get the dogs ready for the ride. By the time they were all hooked up they were going crazy with excitement. It was really pretty funny to watch them jumping up and down and barking like crazy! 

Soon, we were off. We had two sleds with 10 dogs pulling each one. My sled held three people plus the driver. I was in the middle spot, so i got a pretty good view. 

We went up and down hills, through open spaces and wooded areas, and down some pretty major bumps before we stopped at a tepee for fika. There we were able to "get to know" some of the dogs and just relax a bit. We found out during the break that we had actually signed up for a "combination tour" so we snowmobiled back. Fortunately, everyone in our group was really laid back about it, and we had a great time!
